SUCCESS!

Heyo!

This week was filled with lots of stuff going on so I'll try to update yall!

Today we went to the stake center to play some BBALL!! I really haven't played since the MTC so it was fun to get back at it. The cool thing is it was inside and it had air conditioning so I'm counting my blessings. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow!!

Tuesday the onwer of our house came over to help clean and finalize things in our house. He asked me if I could help his daughter translate a homework group project that she had. I was super honored because well someone thinks I have good Spanish!!! But yeah it was really cool to see how far I've come and how much I still lack.

Wednesday there was a storm that soaked everything to the bone (even things that don't have them). That made it really hard to visit people and well it was a long day out in the rain.

Thursday we had divisions. Elder Gardner came here to help me out visit in my area. It was super fun and I learned a lot from him. He is going home at the end of this month and well he's a very wise missionary. He taught me lots of thing that will be put into practice. When we went back to drop him off to his area we went to their house. The live basically on the edge of the runway to the airport!!! Ugh that was rough seeing planes take off!! Glad I don't live there!!!!!

Saturday we had a Elder's Quorum activity that we planned and it was super fun! We had a spiritual thought and then afterwards we played Jenga and the loser would have to sing a song or stuff like that. While some played we had chips with Guacamole, a creamy chees sauce, and some high quality salsa! Man it was good! Lots of people came and they all enjoyed being together as a quorum. 

This week I was reading in my conference magazine (thanks mom for sending that!). I read a quote from Elder Lynn G. Robbins- "Until Seventy Times Seven". It was such a good talk but what I loved most from it was where he says, "Our success isn't GOING from failure to failure, but GROWING from failure to failure without any loss of enthusiasm." I love this quote because it shows how we achieve success. As we fail and make mistakes in life we learn and grow. As we apply these changes we will be able to have SUCCESS. God wants us to succeed so all we need to do is to keep trying. You can do it!
